Chapter 5: The Way of Life
"No more."
Lin You sat on the ground, looking at the disappeared figure in front of him and couldn't help but feel deep despair.
"There must be a way, there must be a way."
Lin You muttered in his mouth.
"There must be something I didn't notice!"
Lin You didn't know how long she had been running, but the huge consumption of physical strength forced him to stop.
There was no one else in the corridor but herself, and Lin You couldn't help but feel despair as she looked at the endless stairs.
Just then, Lin You saw the window on the wall. Lin You hesitated for a moment before opening the window and looking down.
"When did this window appear? It was clearly not there just now."
Lin You also knew that something was wrong with the window that suddenly appeared, but now he could only find a way to escape from here.
"It's not that high either."
Lin You found that it was only two floors down from the window, and his life would not be in danger if he jumped.
The most likely would be a broken leg.
"Why don't you jump down?"
This idea suddenly appeared in Lin You's mind, and it couldn't be dissipated.
"Something's wrong!"
Lin You retracted his head and took a few steps back until his back hit the wall.
The cold touch of the wall made Lin You's skin crawl.
"If this is false, it will be over if you jump down."
"Accordingly, I should have run to the first floor a long time ago. We also live on the fourth floor. I won't say how long I ran just now, but I must have run to the fourth floor."
"Maybe I'm spinning in circles!"
"Just find a way to test it and you will know!"
Lin You also calmed down and returned to his head rationally.
I saw her pulling off the bracelet from her wrist and violently breaking it.
"Tick tock."
The beads fell to the ground and made a crisp sound, and then a strange scene happened.
I saw that the beads that were supposed to roll down actually went upwards as if they were ignoring gravity.
Lin You still held a few beads in his hand. Looking at these beads that ignored gravity, he hesitated for a second and immediately followed them.
Outside the fantasy world.
When the priest saw Lin You suddenly stopped and walked towards the window next to him, he couldn't help but feel something was wrong.
Just when the priest thought she was going to jump out of the window and felt a little regretful, the other party pulled back half of her body that had been stretched out.
"When I reacted, I was a little wary."
The priest was making sarcastic remarks beside him.
"It shouldn't be too difficult for her to regain her sanity."
After the priest finished talking to himself, he turned and went downstairs.
He has been watching here for so long to give him some face. He mainly wants to see what the potential of this newcomer is.
The priest had long expected that there would be obstacles on the way to the first floor. After all, two people had disappeared yesterday.
That thing should also have improved abilities, and may become more blatant in the future.
This is also a test to see if the other party will keep an eye on them when there are two people together.
"This novice mission is more difficult than usual."
The priest wiped his chin.
The priest couldn't help but think of his novice mission and what it was like at that time.
The priest has also experienced no less than ten mission worlds, but the shadow left by the novice missions on him is still there.
After all, every first time should be memorable, right?
"Forget it, let's see if there are any good prospects among the newcomers this time. We can recruit them after the mission is over."
They are not alone, they have some companions.
"After all, there are not many strong people walking alone in this place."
Restaurant on the second floor.
As soon as the priest entered the restaurant, he saw that only the waitress was there.
All the newcomers haven’t arrived yet.
The waitress greeted the priest politely when she saw him coming. Ordinary people might relax their vigilance.
"Sir, do you need something to eat?"
The waitress recommended the delicacies here to the priest with a smile on her face.
However, the priest did not follow the routine and took out the compressed biscuits directly from his pocket and ate it.
The priest has a principle, that is, he will never touch the food in the mission world before he is truly sure that there will be no danger.
After all, no one knows whether it is really normal. For example, the priest has experienced a mission world before, where everything looks the same as the real world.
The group went there for two days without any incident.
Everything seems wrong, and the final key appears in the food. Anyone who eats any food is cursed!
Fortunately, the priest kept eating his own compressed biscuits out of caution and did not take a bite of the delicacies he faced.
But even so, the priest felt terrible about the crazy look of other people at that time.
They have lost their minds and have been eating the "delicious food" in their "eyes". They didn't even react at all when the bus came!
In the end, they were all left in that world!
The priest doesn't know what will happen to the people left behind, but everyone in the real world will slowly forget their existence!
In less than a week, all traces of their presence in this world that prove their existence will be erased. Except for those who have experienced missions with them, they will still remember that they came to this world.
"Sir, don't you really think about it? We have a lot of dishes in the hotel."
The waitress recommended it enthusiastically.
Ordinary people might decide to agree just by looking at the young lady’s appearance.
But after all, the priest is someone who has seen a lot of the world of missions, and he has seen too much about people who are different from what they appear to be.
You can completely resist this temptation.
Just at this time, Lin You ran down with cold sweat on his face.
Following her down were beads all over the ground.
Lin You's face turned a little pale, and her neatly tied ponytail became loose.
"It's come alive."
Lin You saw the priest and walked quickly towards him, but when he was still a few meters away, he hesitated and walked to the side and sat down.
The priest's temperament of keeping strangers away from him still discourages people from approaching him.
“Eat less from this place.”
Seeing that Lin You could escape from that thing, the priest still felt that she was of some value, so he gave her a reminder.
"Ah, okay, okay."
Lin You hesitated for a moment, bought some high-calorie chocolate in the hotel, and drank some water from the water dispenser.
Under normal circumstances, Lin You would never eat chocolate, after all, it is very easy to gain weight.
But now, after listening to the priest's words, I am a little afraid of the food in this hotel.
The priest is not sure whether there is really something wrong with the food in this place, but the attitude of the waitress just now was too enthusiastic.
This is very abnormal. When the priest saw these "people" yesterday, he realized that they were no longer human.
